Full-time - Senior Research Engineer for Natural Language Processing

Technology Field
Natural Language Processing
Machine Learning

Position Summary
Our department conducts research and development in speech and language technologies that contribute to content creation and distribution. In particular, our team focuses on developing machine translation technologies for content such as anime, games, and films. Our goal is to lower the barriers to multilingual content distribution and deliver content to more people, more quickly.

We are advancing the development of machine translation technologies with characteristics not found in conventional industrial translation. These include translations that preserve the worldbuilding and creative intent of the original content, as well as translations that take into account the cultural nuances of the target language. We are seeking talented individuals who can help accelerate this development.

Responsibilities
You will be responsible for the end-to-end development of machine translation technologies that support the localization of entertainment content, including anime, games, and films. Your responsibilities will include model development, the design of evaluation metrics, and data development.

For research outcomes with strong academic potential, we may consider submitting papers to top-tier conferences. Depending on the stage of collaboration with business groups, you may also be responsible for a wide range of tasks required for technology deployment, including model optimization techniques such as model compression, as well as integration into production systems.
